Be it known that I, Emma-m Annsno, a

subject of the King of Italy, residing' at Turin, Italy, have inventedcertain new and useful Im rovements in Hydraulic Whisks;

and I do ereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the Y invention, such as will enable others skilled inthe art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference beinghad-to the accompanyin drawings and to letters or figures of re erencemar ed thereon,which form a part of this specification.

This invention has for its object a h draulic whisk used to whip liquidsor drin of all kinds either alone or with other ingredients such, forexample, as crushed ice for the purpose of the preparation 0 whigpediced drinks. T e said whisk or agitator is set in motion by asmall'hydraulic motor intended to be operated with water'under pressurefrom the usual city water conduits. The

agitator is placed at the bottom of the vessel intended to contain theliquid'to be.

whipped, and 'is set in motion by the impeller of the hydraulic motorkeyed directly on its vertical shaft from below into the bottom of thevessel t rou h a suitable stuiiing-box, while the said im e or is placedinside an extension of the bottom of the vessel removabl fitted upon abase to which is secured the istributor of the waterunder -pressure.

A constructional form of the invention is illustrated by wayof exam la,in the accompany drawing of w ich --Figure 1' show ae 7 whole apparatusin vertical 880- tion, whilst Figures 2 and 3 are horizontal sectionslonfthl e lines 22" and 33-3".- respective y o igure 1.

In the drawing, lie the truncated-conical vesel or container intended.to contain the.

iiquid to be whipped and, fixed below, for instance by soldering, to thebottom 2 and closed above by the removable cover 3. Un-

be either cast all in one piece with the bottom 2, or it canbe fitted,for instance'by' means of the nut 5 screwed to thecentral sleeve 2' ofthe bottom 2. The whole of the vessel is supported removably by thehollow base a through whichithe extension DBiOn 16 its ii 2;: .0

I 16" rests on the base 4 and is locked in a fixed position by means ofthe pin 17 fixed to the Base and fitting into a notch 16" of the flange16' at the top of base 4. The agltator which can be of any shape, iscomposed, -in the example shown in the drawin of a hexagonal hub 6provided on three si' es with oblique blades 6 and of the shaft 7fixedto the hub. The shaft'is mounted vertically and capable of turninwithin the sleeve 2 from which it issues be ow through .the lower cap 8screwed to the said sleeve.

The tightness along the seat of rotation of the shaft 7 towards theexterior is assured the packing 9 located into a suitable site ends ofthe sleeve 2'. The hydrau ic wheelisfed b an inlet nozzle 13 for'theintroduction of the water, and fixed to the base 4, its tangential jetpassin tugh a hole 18 of the extension 16 on t e vanes 12. The nozzle 13is connected to the base a and ends outside with a pipe 14 eventuall rmvided with a cock, and to which the exlble pipe of thefwater supply isattached. The

water which has acted on the wheel is discharged below through an energydestroyer such as a damping netting, provided at the bottom of theextension 16 and passes internally to the b s from which it isdischarged. through the discharge tube d;

e 'worr 1s as follows Supplying the water under p on the vanes12, putsthe wheel 11, 12 into 've rapid rotation and in consequence the tator 6,which, with its bladsst, causes an enertic wh" throu h the diaphra 15and b let e of the action on the hquid 'r drink previously introducedinto the wiaphragm 15 of wire ms f , It will be sent that-the inventionis I in no way limited to the arr I u cute above b dand illustrated,butthat, without.

departing from its essential principle the invention may bemodified asdesired in any respect which may be considered advantageous or necessaryunder practical conditions.

I claim:

1. In a whisk the combination with a container, a c lindrical extensionon the bottom thereo having a hole therein, an agitato:- in saidcontainer,'a shaft passing through the container into the extension toone endof which the agitator is secured, a Pelton wheel secured to theother end of said shaft in said extension and a jet device opposite saidhole and deliveringsaid jet substantially tangentially in the plane ofsaid wheel, said container,

said shaft in said extension and a jet device opposite said hole anddelivering said jet hollow base hav' substantially tangentially in theplane of said wheel, and an energy destroyer extending-across saidcylindrlcal extension, said container, extension and wheel removableas aunit from said jet device.

3. In a whisk, the combination with a a jet device for directing a waterjet su tantially parallel with the base, of a container, a c lindricalextension on the bottom thereof 'aving a hole the cap, extension andwheelas my invention, Opposite said et device, an agitator in saidcontainer, a Peltonwheel in said extension and a shaft connecting saidagitator and wheel, said container, agitator, extension and wheelremovable as a unit from said base and said extension forming a coverfor said base, said container, extension and wheel removable as a unitfrom said jet device.

4. In a whisk, a contai ner, a central sleeve on its bottom, an agitatorin the container, through said sleeve, a perforated cap for the lowerend of said sleeve, a packing in the sleeve, a spring between thepacklng'and cap and a-water wheel on the shaft below said containeragitator-and wheel forming a removable unit.

5. In a whisk, the combination with a hollow base, having a water outlet.at its bottom and a jet device in its side above the bottom; of acontainer, a cylindrical extension connected to said container having aflange seating onsaid base and having a hole opposite said jet, acentral sleeve at the bottom of said container and extending into saidextension, an agitator in said container, a shaft for the agitatorextending through said sleeve, a Pelton wheel on the lower end of saidshaft in said extension to receive a.

jet directed substantially in the plane of said wheel and an energydestroyer below said,

wheel extending over the lower end of said extension and discharginginto said base,

said container and extension with the elements mounted therein removableas'a unit. In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have si ed m n'ame.
